                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 27, 2007

  Mr. TANCREDO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
National Association for Black Veterans (NABVETS) and offer my 
salutation to those members attending their Regional Convention in 
Denver Colorado this November. NABVETS has representatives in several 
states across the western United States, including my home state of 
Colorado. It is with the utmost sincerity that I wish this gathering 
success in discerning avenues to uphold and meet their organizational 
mission.
  Since its founding in 1969, NABVETS has made great strides in 
community development and advocacy by providing a myriad of services 
including empowerment of low-income and minority veterans and 
historical perseverance.
  NABVETS has provided support to Colorado communities over the years, 
and I am proud to support its continued efforts to assist Colorado's 
veterans.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in thanking them for their efforts, and 
conveying my best wishes for the convention.

                          ____________________
